Mission RCMP members immediately began CPR including the use of a portable defibrillator carried in the police car, until BC Ambulance Service arrived and they took over resuscitation efforts.

BC Ambulance service transported the little girl with police escort to Mission Memorial Hospital where she was pronounced deceased.

“The loss of a loved one is always an extremely difficult time,” said Staff Sergeant Steve Crawford, “But it touches everyone much harder when it is a child, and our thoughts go out to the family, and all of those involved.”
